I'm going through a very tough divorce with a very vindictive ex wife who is with holding my children from me in order to cause me pain. Today is my birthday and the first birthday in many years I haven't had my kids with me. Her mother is a very ruthless and rich divorce attorney who has gone out of her way to characterize me as a violent monster, mostly because she thinks I am a loser who is unable to provide for my kids. Part of me feels like they're trying to isolate me to drive me to do something dangerous to myself. I've never menaced or hurt anyone. I tried to reach out to family. It did not work. I don't know what to do. Please tell me someone out there sees this.
